Pop art was everything Britain wasn’t in the 1950s; brash, bold, brilliant, and as far removed from the post-war ration book as it was possible to be. Artists like Peter Blake and Derek Boshier embraced the mass advertising coming from America, painting vibrant pictures in which cereal packets and Coca-cola jostled for a place in the consumer jamboree.

Design was also getting in on the act, with the American husband-and-wife duo Charles and Ray Eames embracing the mass-produced objects spilling off the factory line.

This is the first comprehensive exhibition to explore the radical exchange between artists and designers of this era, and how posters, album covers, furniture and fashion became Pop all over.

From a luscious red lip sofa to a green apple chair, their designs personify Pop art. The Leonardo was a swirling sofa that reflected Europe’s love affair with all things American, and in particular, that most iconic of images, the Star Spangled banner. However, the act of sitting on it suggests there was a touch of irony in the designers' homage.
